Learn to be silence

The silence has an energy to it like no other source. It has the power to get people to think and to act, it can help slow the mind down, and it is a powerful ally in the likes of counselling and life coaching. The trouble with silence is that many people feel the need to fill the void of silence with needless chatter, with TV, music, with noise of some kind. Silence can be disconcerting and can make people feel uncomfortable and alone, that's why the world is filled with TV's that have been left on when nobody is watching it, for background noise.

Instant Black Sesame soup

I'm not pretty sure since when I fall in love to drink the Black Sesame dessert, as you may know the Black Sesame has a little bitter taste and the colour is black which seems not delicious. But trust me, it isn't bad taste and you will definitely like it if served with some honey and oat. Why drink it? Black sesame is one of the recommended healthy foods.  Black Sesame are a very good source of copper and a good source of magnesium and calcium and very good diet therapy food for the Traditional Chinese culture. In the shops and in restaurant, you can buy many Black Sesame products such as cake, porridge, sweets etc. If you have experienced temporary dry eyes, blurred vision, you can try to have a Black Sesame soup which can nourish your eyes as well as benefit the liver and kidney channels.

The Cancer Truth Seminar by Eu Yan Sang

It was a health seminar about cancer reveals organised by Eu Yan Sang. The tickets is RM99 for 2 pax if you are Eu Yan Sang member, else you are going to pay for RM120 per pax. I was invited to go by my sister to replace my mom, as she was not able to make it in the morning. The seminar started at 8 a.m. morning and if you could come earlier, there is breakfast provided and free body checkup before the talk starts. There is also several products selling outside the ballroom, you may get discount or cheaper a bit compared to the store.

The speakers are all specialist doctor in the cancer from local and Taiwan. They are providing general info about the cancer screening tests, how's it grow, how to prevent cancer, treatments and so on. It is a very good knowledge to understand it as nobody can guess who is the next to have this disease. Well, our body is made up of trillions of living cells. These cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. Cancer cells originate from normal cells when their DNA or blue prints within the cell nucleus is damaged. When DNA is damaged in a normal cell, the cell either repairs the damage or the cell dies. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired, and the cell does not die. This may be inherited from parents or may be a spontaneous problem that occurs during the lifetime of a person such as environmental toxins as those present in cigarette smoke. There are, however, multiple factors that may cause cancer and it is difficult to pin point an exact cause.

KL Haze in a summer day, June 2013

Haze again? I remember there is often to happen once a year when comes to summer. During the hot sunny days, haze is coming down from Indonesia again due to the forest fires. First the smoky haze hit Singapore, the warning comes as they are suffers the highest levels of air pollution and few days later it blows deeper into Malaysia. How can we get some relief from haze? Apologise from Indonesia? Sue them when you have lung disease? Don't you think apologise can solve anything? Hey, there is two countries are suffering from the bad smoke that makes everyone hard to breath and lead to our health is on risky everyday. So who's going to stop this and who should bear this responsibility?

My 1st Taiwan Trip 2013

Taiwan is the most relaxing trip for me. At the first time, I don't feel like going there. Look at the pictures itself is not really special for me and not attractive such as "mountain, pasar malam alike, shoplots etc where also can be seen in other places" as my parents had the same thought as me now.

Eventually it was proved that I were wrong. Taiwan is really really a wonderful place for shopping, eat/drinks, and beautiful scenery all above my expectation. Security there is far better than our country, at least I can walk alone in Taipei without any threat of robbery. However, we still need to be caution of any incident happen. Overall, Taiwan is a great place to visit. I'm starting fall in love with Taiwan now.
